queen latifah - the lady is a tramp lyrics
i’ve wined and dined on mulligan stew,
and never wished for turkey.
as i hitched and hiked and grifted, too,
from maine to albuquerque.
alas, i missed the beaux-arts ball, and what is twice as sad:
i was never at a party where they honored noel ca’ad.
but social circles spin too fast for me;
my hobohemia is the place to be…..
i get too hungry for dinner at eight, i like the theatre but never come late.
i never bother with people i hate: that’s why the lady is a tramp.
i don’t like cr-p games with barons and earls,
won’t go to harlem in ermine and pearls.
won’t dish the dirt with the rest of the girls:
that’s why the lady is a tramp.
i like the free fresh wind in my hair, life without care:
i’m broke, it’s oke.
hate california, it’s cold and it’s damp:
that’s why the lady is a tramp.
i go to coney – the beach is divine.
i go to ball games – the bleachers are fine.
i follow winch-ll and read every line:
that’s why the lady is a tramp!
i like a prize fight that isn’t a fake.
i love the rowing on central park lake.
i go to opera and stay wide awake:
that’s why the lady is a tramp!
i like the green gr-ss under my shoes, what can i lose?
i’m flat! that’s that! i’m all alone when i lower my lamp:
that’s why the lady is a tramp!
